Quezon Marathon 2013 – September 22, 2013

This 2013 will be the 3rd year that Quezon Run will be having its annual running event. From 2,000 runners in Quezon Run 2011, 4,364 runners in 2012 QUEZON RUN – Run to Build, Run to Explore, Run in Quezon Province.

From its primary objective of promoting running and tourism in Quezon Province and producing a standard quality running event , this also serves as a fund raising among partner organizations all over Quezon Province. In the last 2 years Quezon Run Committee shared & donated an almost 200,000 pesos to its partnered group and organizations. The amount was used for their respective projects:

These are just some of the projects that most of the Quezon Run Committee partnered organizations entered into.

And this year will be a GREATER CHALLENGE because we are aiming for the BIGGEST RUNNING EVENT in QUEZON PROVINCE plus the chance to see some of the historical places, famous delicacies and sceneries that Quezon Province can offer.

Hello NOEL. Our venue will be at the Graceland Estate & Country Club,Tayabas City with lots of amenities and its also our official venue for the event the rate is around P 3,000(good for 2 pax) only and additional 800 per pax but we can give you special discount..

But if you want a cheaper hotel rooms there are hotels about 2kms away from the venue Nawawalang Paraiso Resort & Hotel,Kamayan sa Palaisdaan or the Micasa en Tayabas located at the heart of the City.

QUEZON MARATHON 2013 is in partnership with the Provincial Government of Quezon,City Government of Tayabas,Southern Luzon State University-College of Engineering,Sangguniang Kabataan ng Quezon,Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation Academic Club and other Non-Governmental Organization in the Province.

Any chance na mababaan ang reg fees sir? This is in consideration to the transportation and lodging of participants from NCR. Kahit konti lang naman. I believe that the general sentiment is that races held in Metro Manila are getting more and more expensive. A lot of running enthusiasts are dying to run new routes – inside and outside Metro Manila. What you will mark down from the reg fee, you will recover it back sa volume of participants. Not a bad trade off i think. Baka lang naman sir. I’m sure maganda din and route niyo, i’m sure gusto niyo din maging successful ang event niyo tulad ng kakatapos lang na patakbo sa laguna/quezon (which is incidentally still the talk of the town due to it’s utter succes in all aspects). Tatakbo din ako sa event ninyo sir, no mistake about that. consolation na lang kung makabawas konti sa reg fee.

Hi JOB! I am sorry this is the least that the Quezon Run Committee can give due to our inclusions especially for 42km race distance. FYI, this is the 3rd year of our Annual Running event and we add some other inclusions based on the request of our runners & participants. We afraid that if we lessen the amount of reg fee it will surely affect the outcome and objective of this race.We do hope that you understand the said matter.B

There are things we are carefully considering for this event 1)closure of some selected roads 2) payment to the beautiful venue 3) adding of RFID with race data analysis and split timing system 4) Since we will close some of the roads we need to add additional manpower or approximately 400 marshalls 5)the physical preparation will) take 2 days or 48 hours at least 6)Since we are from Province the costs of promotions and marketing is not free 7) The use of larger clocks,entertainment like guests artists and the likes.8) prizes for top finishers.

Hi ARNEL, incase na wala ka makasama going to the venue the most conveniet way Sir Arnel is to ride in a bus 2:30-3 hours from MAKATI BUENDIA STATIONS either JAC LINER or JAM LIMER going to LUCENA CITY then along crossing DIVERSION ROAD you will ride in a jeep ging to TAYABAS CITY about 200-220 pesos only.

As of the moment there are lots of inquiries from our runners who want to participate the upcoming QUEZON MARATHON 2013.

FROM MANILA its just 2 rides going to the venue.

If you are from MAKATI or nearby MAKATI a BUS STATION named JAM LINER/JAC LINER around 2.5 -3 hours travel from MAKATI to LUCENA CITY and from LUCENA CITY DIVERSION ROAD ehh isang sakay po ng jeep going to RIZAL PARK,TAYABAS CITY,QUEZON PROVINCE (about 12- 15 minutes ride).

IF you are from CUBAO/ORTIGAS AREA there’s a station in Kamuning/Kamias named JAC LINER/JAM LINER also the same procedure above.

Usually we are advising the terminals to operate 24 hours like last year as early as 8pm -2am we have runners from ALABANG and MANILA who just ride via bus liners.

Riding in a bus is the most comfortable way Sir. The same as how we participated in most runs in MANILA we are just riding in a bus and jeepneys.

Im sure sir you’ll enjoy the experience of running here in Quezon Province since this is our 3rd Runniversary.

We advice you to have an atleast 6 hours allowance when you leave MANILA.

We will allocate two large tent for those runners that will be early in the venue for them to take a nap or we suggest to avail some of the chip hotels in the City around 350 -1900 php and some first class hotels for those who wants to stay longer in the City.

For further details pls visit Quezon Run on facebook but we will study your proposal Sir.

Regarding the Security since this event is part of the Provincial Office project the PNP and visibility of our PNPs will be 24 hours so nothing to worry abouth it Sir.

I’m sure you guys are tracking the registration for the 42, 21, and 10. It’ll be helpful for you to post a daily update so people can be notified. Thanks for the info and i will try my luck to register on Friday.

No need for support vehicle. Some area will be closed to traffic in some given time as proposed to the City Government (waiting for approval). And if not approved its a SUNDAY in the Province and the vehicles are very limited on the area averaging just 28 cars every Sundays as per studied by the entire Quezon Run Committee.

The hydration station is available at km 1,km 2.5,km 5,km 8 then after the km 8 every 3kms po ang hydration station.
